In fact, Steve — I would point out also that my article dates from as long ago as 1966 & relates to a song I learned in 1958; so well predates your 'proven evolution' in the form of the Opies' mention in Lore&Language [which I acknowledge in it as having appeared between my collection & publication], the Clancys WelaWallia, The Spinners OldMotherLee, &c —

Indeed, I think I might reasonably claim mine as the pioneering piece on the link [your 'proven evolution'] between this particular children's song & Child 20. Can you point to an earlier publication suggesting this link?
